Trivia

- Thanks to a broken zipper, Olivia Newton-John had to be sewn into the pants she was wearing during the carnival scene.

- Although the film is set in high school, most of the lead actors were way beyond high school age. Stockard Channing, 33, was the oldest.

- The memorable 'You’re the One That I Want' sequence was filmed in just one afternoon.

Product Description

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John star in this musical on DVD about teens in love in the '50s. It's California, 1959, and greaser Danny Zuko and Australian Sandy Olsson are in love. They spend time at the beach, but when they go back to school, what neither of them knows is that they both now attend Rydell High. Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black-jacket greasers while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, a group of pink-wearing girls led by Rizzo. When they clash at Rydell's first pep rally, Danny isn't the same Danny at the beach. They try to be like each other so they can be together. Available for the first time as a remastered Special Edition and featuring all-new bonus materials from the romantic-comedy musical, Grease: Rockin' Rydell Edition is the word!

Review

A contemporary fantasy about a 1950's teen-age musical a larger, funnier, wittier and more imaginative-than-Hollywood movie with a life that is all its own --The New York Times, Vincent Canby

Grease boasts what all successful motion picture musicals have: likable stars, a simple but not trivial plot, and a lot of enjoyable music. Familiarity with the soundtrack is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the film's popularity: several of the songs have achieved pop hit status. Who can't recognize Grease, Hopelessly Devoted to You, You're the One that I Want, Greased Lightning, and Summer Nights? --James Berardinelli, Reelviews

Waited a while for the high def version of this movie to come out. And now that I've seen it, I'm not disappointed. Keeping in mid that this is a musical, I enjoy it for what it is. And I've been a big fan of Olivia Newton-John for over 40 years, so it was great to see her in HD clarity. I should also mention that even though there are a lot of great songs in this movie, John Farrar's song, "You're The One That I Want", has yet to be equaled for its combination of uplifting vibrancy, catchy melody, and addictive beat.

This review is for the 2002 Widescreen Edition DVD. I like it and the way it is presented here. It comes in a really nice sleek case and when you open it up it has a fold out, plus you get a nice songbook with it that has all the songs from the movie with all the lyrics.The special features for this edition are decent and the picture looks fairly good for DVD. One day, I will compare with Blu-ray. Until then, I will enjoy Olivia, John and the rest of the gang in this musical smash from 1978, GREASE!Special Features Included for this Edition ~Dolby Digital 5.1English Dolby SurroundFrench Dolby SurroundEnglish Subtitles, Spanish SubtitlesOriginal Theatrical TrailerRetrospective Interviews from several of the cast in the movie

Very good copy! I know with the DVD there have been many different releases of this film and a lot of complaints about sound quality. When I bought the DVD (before I had a Kindle Fire) it took me a week to wade through the reviews to find a decent copy. Well wade no more, buy this one for your Kindle and wow - great sound and great video, no problems. Mind you, I have a Fire HD so I cannot speak for a regular Kindle but I see no reason why it wold not be the same quality. As for the film itself, its a classic and if you grew up with it you will love it. If you like musicals you will love it, if you fit neither category, run for the hills you will hate it. (unless you liked Hairspray).

Don't need to review the movie itself: if you are a fan of "Grease," you don't need to be sold on its pleasures. The Blu-ray "Rockin' Rydell Edition," however, requires some comment.

The overall picture is very good: colors are sharp, not overly saturated, good detail. No complaints -- the video transfer is pleasing.

The AUDIO, on the other hand, is awful. The soundtrack musical numbers are clear and actually improved upon in 5.1 surround. But the dialog track is astonishingly muddy. There is a noticeable difference between the audio quality of the dialog and that of the musical numbers. I thought it was just my imagination until, after viewing, my wife made a comment about how hard it was to hear the dialog. This was a major disappointment, and for that reason, I would not recommend the Blu-ray edition.

Haven't watched all of the extras yet, but they are as expected, fun but nothing you probably didn't already know if you are a fan of the film.

Now a part of our everyday culture, this movie blasted into theatres in 1978 and took off -- it has never stopped entertaining the masses, me included. Though it is considerably slicked-up and watered-down from the original B'way musical (which was a lot grittier), it is consistently enjoyable and features a wonderfully sparkling ensemble of performances. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John remain a delightfully imperfect team of cartoon lovers; they share a real chemistry and what fun to see them perform in outlandishly campy musical numbers; Stockard Channing, thought at least 10 to 15 years beyond high school age, digs into the role of Rizzo with relish, and manages to be moving at the same time. Eve Arden and Dody Goodman are priceless in their principal and assistant roles. Transformed into a kind of cotton-candy fantasy, GREASE the movie contains many of the 50s cliches and mores that made the musical on stage so appealingly on-target, but coats everything with a mostly appealing veneer of sweetness. The added-for-the-film only musical numbers, thought not exactly typical 1950s pop fare, are breezy, catchy and fun, and have a commercial sound that certainly caught on.

Grease Rockin’ Rydell edition is an old musical classic starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, that I wanted to add to my classics’ collection. It also, helps me remember what teenagers were wearing when I was growing up in New York. I am still amazed that girls worn skirts and blouses and the guys worn leather jackets. Great dance routines and great music. I am still fond of the old days running wild in the streets, great film; good for the whole family recommend you buy it.

This is the only Grease movie worth watching. Lame at times but what the heck. I like it. The music and clothing styles brings me back to my school days. I highly suggest Grease and not any follow-up versions
